Drink Up

Don’t underestimate the power of a simple glass of water over expensive beauty treatments. Dehydration can make your skin lacklustre and dry, and reduce elasticity. Drinking enough water can assist in weight maintenance (many people mistake thirst for hunger), removal of toxins, and helping to keep your skin hydrated.
Do the 3-step skin pinch test to check if your skin could be dehydrated.

Pinch the skin on the back of your hand or arm.

Hold for a few seconds then release.

Well-hydrated skin should go back to normal immediately, while poorly-hydrated skin will take longer. Ageing can also decrease this ‘snap back’ time due to decreased collagen and elastin levels.

There isn’t necessarily a set amount that you should drink, although 6-8 glasses are the usual recommendation. While other beverages like tea or juice do contribute to your fluid intake, plain water is best. Why? Because it isn’t packed with sweeteners, sugar (which contributes to weight gain), colouring, flavouring, caffeine, etc., plus tea and coffee are mild diuretics so they can, in excess, lead to dehydration.

I’ve been having some problems with my skin – breakouts, acne, and blemishes (mostly red areas after the acne). Although I wasn’t taking the Zehra for the acne, I started to notice a definite improvement in healing time, and how quickly the reddened post-pimple blemishes faded. Not only do the red areas go away much faster, there are less dry patches and my skin seems to look healthier overall!

After 2 weeks, I definitely noticed my skin feeling a lot less parched and dehydrated as it normally tends to feel. After 1 month of using Zehra, I suddenly noticed how much a 20 year old scar on my leg had healed and almost halved in size. Now, after 3 months use, I have noticed a real reduction in fine lines on my face as well as a considerable reduction in pigmentation and the scar on my leg is about a third of its original size and is still healing.

My eyelashes and eyebrows have thickened after having become sparse as age creeps up on me. In general, the condition of my hair, skin & nails has improved dramatically. I am also no longer getting the occasional arthritic pains in my shoulder.

I truly believe in the benefits of using Zehra on a multiple of levels, and with each passing month, I notice another added benefit, e.g. I suddenly noticed that instead of the odd gray hairs appearing, any new hair growth is in my natural colour!
